Pour marinade over pork cubes and toss to coat evenly.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread marinated pork onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and bell pepper.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until pork is cooked through and slightly charred.

Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with warm pita bread, fresh tomato, and tzatziki sauce.
